The Pathway

Episode 1

Episode #1.1

A group of four, elite high school basketball players are given the opportunity of a lifetime. The chance to be trained, mentored, and mentally prepared for the NBA. Jalen Green, Jonathan Kuminga, Isaiah Todd and Daishen Nix are the first four players to join the Pathway program, where they will join the G-League's (the NBA's minor league) newly formed Team Ignite. Jalen Green hails from Fresno California and is considered to be a basketball prodigy. Green has been compared to Kobe Bryant and is anticipated to be a top draft pick. Jonathan Kuminga moved from the Congo when he was just 14 years old, with one goal in mind, to join the NBA. Isaiah Todd and Daishen Nix, top high school recruits, signed on to play for NCAA schools. However, when the Pathway became an opportunity, they both de-committed. Both feel that playing for Ignite will bring them closer to their NBC goals, then the college route could have. From here on out, the focus is on one thing, preparing for life as a potential NBA player.
